Welcoming a new firm in India
Founded in 2008, B.N. Kamothi & Co. is a professional services firm with offices in Ahmedabad and Rajkot, India, renowned for client satisfaction and excellence in accounting, auditing, taxation, assurance and business advisory services. Led by five partners and supported by an experienced multidisciplinary team, the firm provides holistic solutions to a diverse client base across Gujarat, including corporate entities, central banks, co-operative banks, insurance companies and public sector corporations.
We are delighted to welcome B. N. Kamothi & Co. to DFK International and to be providing our members with another trusted firm to support cross-border client needs and collaboration.
We spoke with Dr Kapril Khatri, Managing Partner, to learn more about the firm and their reasons for joining DFK.
"Joining DFK International was a strategic decision for our firm as we strongly believe that professional services are increasingly global in nature. Many Indian businesses are expanding internationally, while international businesses are exploring opportunities in India.
DFK provides a trusted platform where independent firms collaborate, share expertise, and support clients across jurisdictions with confidence. Being part of such an association enables us to deliver broader solutions to our clients while also contributing our regional expertise in India."
Why is international collaboration important to your firm?
Through international collaboration we can:
- Provide seamless services to clients expanding overseas
- Assist international firms entering the Indian market
- Share technical knowledge and best practices
- Handle complex cross-border tax and regulatory matters more efficiently
- DFK's global footprint allows us to deliver these services while maintaining the personal attention and independence of a local firm."
"DFK members working with our firm can benefit from:
- Strong expertise in Indian taxation and regulatory compliance
- Extensive experience in banking, cooperative banking and financial sector audits
- Advisory support for foreign companies entering India
- Cross-border tax structuring and FEMA advisory
- Reliable local representation and client coordination in India
What stood out to you during the joining process?
"The joining process was extremely professional and well-structured. What stood out most was the openness and warmth with which the DFK leadership and member firms welcomed us. The onboarding process was transparent, supportive, and demonstrated the strong collaborative culture that exists within the DFK alliance."
Any other thoughts or comments you would like to share?
"We are honoured to become part of the DFK International family and look forward to building meaningful professional relationships with member firms across different jurisdictions. We believe that through collaboration, knowledge sharing, and mutual support, we can collectively deliver greater value to clients worldwide."

DFK Asia Pacific conference gives back with new music room for KOTO
This year, delegates came together to support a meaningful cause: KOTO (Know One Teach One), an organisation dedicated to transforming the lives of disadvantaged young people in Vietnam.
Conference delegates had the privilege of hearing from Jimmy Pham, the visionary founder of KOTO. Jimmy shared the powerful story behind the organisation and the philosophy that drives it.
KOTO was established with a simple but powerful idea: “Know One, Teach One.”
Jimmy’s story and the impact of KOTO resonated strongly with conference attendees, highlighting how education, mentorship and opportunity can create lasting change.
In the spirit of giving back, DFK made the decision to replace the traditional delegate gift with a charitable contribution to KOTO.
The response from delegates was overwhelmingly positive. Through the generosity of conference attendees, along with additional donations from individuals and member firms, enough funds were raised to establish a dedicated DFK Music Room for KOTO students.
This new space will provide trainees with an opportunity to express creativity, relax, and connect with one another alongside their professional training. It will form part of the supportive environment that helps students grow both personally and professionally.
Choosing to give rather than receive is a small shift that can have a significant ripple effect. By supporting KOTO, the DFK community is helping to create opportunities for young people who may otherwise never have had access to education or career pathways.
DFK extends a sincere thank you to all delegates, individuals, and member firms who contributed additional donations to support this initiative.
Their generosity made it possible to create the DFK Music Room at KOTO, leaving a lasting legacy from the conference and supporting the next generation of young people as they build brighter futures.
